Why multilingual prenups matter
Nearly 22% of Americans speak a language other than English at home. For couples where one or both partners are more comfortable reading in another language, a prenuptial agreement written entirely in English can create a power imbalance — one partner fully understands the terms, while the other is relying on trust. Courts have thrown out prenups where one party couldn't demonstrate genuine understanding of what they signed.
Traditionally, getting a prenup translated meant hiring a certified legal translator — typically $200–$500 per language, with turnaround times of a week or more. For couples who need translations in less common languages, the cost and delay could be significantly higher.
How Clause's translation works
After your agreement is generated, you can request a reference translation from the Documents page. Clause uses AI to translate your actual agreement — not a generic template — into any of 60+ supported languages. The translation preserves the structure, article numbering, and legal meaning of the original document while rendering it in natural, readable prose in the target language.
Popular languages like Spanish, Mandarin, French, Arabic, Hindi, Korean, Vietnamese, and Tagalog are available in one click. For less common languages, a searchable input lets you type any language name — if AI can translate to it, Clause can generate it.
What "reference translation" means
Clause's translations are reference translations, not certified legal translations. The distinction matters: a reference translation helps both partners read and understand the agreement in their preferred language. The English-language original remains the legally binding version. If there's ever a dispute, courts will look to the English text.
That said, having a reference translation is significantly better than having no translation at all. It demonstrates that both parties had the opportunity to understand the agreement — a factor courts weigh when evaluating enforceability. If your situation requires a certified legal translation, we recommend engaging a professional translator in addition to Clause's reference version.
Which languages are supported
Clause supports 60+ languages across every major language family. The most popular include Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, French, Arabic, Hindi, Portuguese, Korean, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Russian, Japanese, and German. Extended support covers languages from Amharic and Bengali to Yoruba and Zulu — plus dozens more available through the searchable input.
Included with your plan
AI reference translation is included with the Comprehensive plan at no extra charge. You can generate translations in as many languages as you need — there's no per-language fee. Essential plan users can upgrade to Comprehensive to unlock this feature along with all optional clauses, live document preview, and online notarization.
